Gosh darn it guys, I did it again. I missed October! This semester has been a whirlwind of activity doing my credential program and traveling a lot. I went to Hawaii for a week for my boyfriend's best friend's wedding, and then went to Las Vegas for my birthday weekend. It's been a blast but also difficult to balance all of my school work!

I uploaded a few short videos on my YouTube channel. I'm just realizing how decent my iPhone is at filming and it is a heck of a lot less work than using my DSLR and then editing in iMovie. I will still use my DSLR for clear shots and my special videos, but I would like to shoot just little clips whenever anything noteworthy happens. My fish room is my Fortress of Solitude - it's where I go when I want to escape. It's almost meditative :) However, if there's anything quick and fun to show, I'll try and remember to capture it :)

Here are a couple quick videos on how I change water on my very sensitive licorice gouramies (key tips - age, soften, IAL treat and heat your water at least overnight). I also am very excited to introduce a special new addition to my fish room - an adorable Red-eye Red-belly puffer fish! He is absolutely adorable and very personable. I took this video the first day he came home with me, so he was still settling in. I'll definitely be filming more of him in the near future.
